Italian Coastal

‘Italian Coastal, brings to life the glamorous and culinarily colourful shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Guinness’s recipes are chic yet accessible, and worth dragging out your brightest ceramics for: a vivacious spaghetti dish tossed through with zucchini and basil, crostini enlivened with ricotta and ‘nduja, and this gorgeously zesty cake with a smooth ganache. It’s Guinness’s take on a Capri classic.’ * Broadsheet *‘It’s been a while since I earmarked so many recipes I’ve wanted to try in one book.’ – Jess Lomas * Books and Publishing *‘Italian Coastal will satisfy both the palate and the wanderlust of anyone seeking a culinary adventure.’ – Jess Lomas * Books and Publishing *‘In Italian Coastal Amber opens her larder to introduce ingredients harvested in local regions - from almonds and anchovies to capers, pistachios - and local market stalls heaving with fish.’ * The Australian Women’s Weekly *
